Louis Theroux vs Westboro Baptists

[pk]

This Sunday at 9pm (I forget which channel) the unflappable Louis Theroux goes to see Phelps and crew, responsible for the God Hates Fags website, and whose members picket funerals of dead soldiers and gay men and women to draw attention to their twisted interpretation of the Bible.

I wonder if he'll ask Phelps about the well documented paedophile accusations, or the fact that many family members have fled the old man after years of abuse?

BBC2 I suspect.

Cheers for letting me know.

Its a fair cop, but society's to blame. Book me Danno.

 

[Crispy]

No no, I'm going to find you a really earnest social worker with sharp fingernails.

 

[Cid]

looks good - love Theroux... it's his utterly disarming gentle middle-classness, combined with the fact his questions cut straight to the bone and throw the most hardened nutjob into awkward corners.

 

[stavros]

He is fantastic, a treasure of British TV. Female bodybuilding, gangsta rap, the KKK, you name it, he's done it.

Ah bless, has Dwyer been trying to bait me all this time??

[Balbi]

On now. Good starts.

'We are all doooooooomed'

 

[aqua]

I did wonder about typing that but its the only thing in my head

crikey these people are scary

 

[krtek a houby]

Marvellous. An eternity in hell would be a picnic compared to 3 weeks with these twisted folks. I actually feel sorry for them.

 

[oddworld]

Who allowed them to procreate

Actually it is really sad , to demonstrate at people's funeral is awful.

They should be arrested

 

[krtek a houby]

Desmond Tutu?

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

OMG some of this makes me feel physically sick.

 

[WouldBe]

OMG some of this makes me feel physically sick.

That's why I'm not watching it.

 

[electrogirl]

this is horrible, why are they so angry??

 

[krtek a houby]

Ah and they're anti-semites, too. Of course.

 

[WouldBe]

Have they done the 'Do you rejoice when people get run over by a car?' yet?

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

That's why I'm not watching it.

Its why I am. I'd feel happier being informed about these loons. Easiest way is to watch it yourself

 

[Balbi]

That's my opinion. Fred Phelps is not stupid though, there's a lot of intelligence there imo.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

I was also surprised about the homeschooling aspect. I had assumed that she would insist on keeping them home and insisiting that they not be exposed to evil

I can't afford to replace the tele when I throw a brick through it. The trailers for the program were bad enough.

I'm sure this is all very worthy, but I far prefer the show on Anna Nicole Smith
